Lysyl-tRNA Synthase

Shown here is PDB number 1bbu, lysyl-tRNA Synthase shown here complexed with the lysine substrate. It consists of both (the latter in sheets and a barrel). Below is pictured the exact same synthase complexed with it's residue of interest, lysine.

Lysine-bound lysyl-tRNA synthase

Drag the structure with the mouse to rotate

As you can see in the "active site", the lysine participates in multiple hydrogen bonding interactions to stay complexed to the synthase protein as it moves into position to build the tRNA in the ribosome. Specifically, trigger a complex conformational change that completely changes the synthase. These changes involve "these two loops" and some "other pieces" of the molecule. This conformational change effecively closes the active site when bound to lysine.
